Gape Trevor Moralo (born 6 February 2000) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for SuperSport United in the South African Premier Division.

In 2018, Moralo joined the SuperSport United academy from the School of Excellence in Elandsfontein.[disambiguation needed] He played for the reserve team in the Diski Challenge Shield, and played for South Africa U20. Moralo was brought into SuperSport United's first-team squad in August 2020. He was a replacement for Dean Furman in the postponed closing stages of the 2019-20 South African Premier Division.[1]

Moralo made his SuperSport United debut in 2020, but up until 2023, Moralo started 48 games on the bench, seeing only a few minutes of game time.[2] Moralo still played games for the Diski Challenge side.[3] He was also a candidate for going out on loan.[4]

He started his first games in 2023 and was also a substitute in a victory over Kaizer Chiefs. Moralo thus signed a new contract.[5] He also played continental football in the 2023–24 CAF Confederation Cup group stage, but SuperSport United were eliminated.[6] He scored his first league goal against Orlando Pirates in May 2024.[7] He signed a new contract after the season, spanning two years.[8]
